More PSVR Horror Headed Your Way With ‘Do Not Open’
Who doesn’t want more VR horror? Sony Interactive Entertainment Spain and Quasar Dynamics certainly think we need it with their upcoming PSVR-exclusive Do Not Open, which set to release next year.
Described as a mix of survival horror with escape room elements, Do Not Open is also apparently based on real events. You play as Michael J. Goreng, a “well-known zoologist and epidemiologist trapped in his own house where his wife and daughter are held against their will.” That means you’ll have to do some puzzle solving in order to escape. And of course, deal with an unknown paranormal entity along the way.
Do Not Open will apparently have high replayability, as the puzzles, riddles, and events vary slightly across subsequent playthroughs, along with the house’s layout and rooms. The game will also not make use of any save points, and will feature multiple endings.
No word on if Do Not Open will be exclusively for PSVR on the PS4 or the upcoming PS5 is unknown, though the trailer below only features the PS4 logo.
While not quite Snakes on a Plane or Red Eye, co-developers Liquid Static Studio and Snapping Turtle have something darker in mind with their upcoming job-sim horror game, Night Plane. Coming to Steam later this year, the game has you doing the expected work as a flight attendant, but with the added bonus of trying to find demons hiding amongst the passengers.
It’s 1999, and it’s your first day on the job. You must do the usual things as a flight attendant: welcoming passengers aboard, check tickets, and attend to their needs. However, shape-shifting entities may attempt to come aboard disguised as humans. So, your additional job in Night Plane is to question passengers, and find a way to remove any unauthorized non-human visitors from the plane.
That also leads to assisting passengers in unorthodox ways inside the plane, outside the plane, and in places not listed in your training manual. To make things even more complicated, you’ll need to make tough decisions with irreversible consequences. Naturally, the company will not be held accountable for any mistakes you make. You live with them.
Oh, and seeing as this is a plane, you may encounter some turbulence while in flight, along with power failures, lightning strikes and more. All of which, including your decisions, will lead to one of the multiple endings in Night Plane.
